The Rochester FIre Department dealt with a blaze at a Rochester manufacturing plant on Christmas Eve when flames broke out at Metro Circuits on LaGrange Avenue.
An automated alarm called firefighters to the circuit board plant, which was closed for the Christmas holiday. They arrived to find smoke coming from the building, and found the fire had spread to the roof, overhead vents and PVC pipes. A sulfuric acid leak from damaged containers caused them to declare a Hazmat situation.
The fire was under control in just over an hour. A department spokesman says the plant’s sprinkler system controlled most of it, but there was substantial water damage to the building.
Nobody was reported hurt.
